When Jim Brown speaks, it's hard not to listen.
The legendary Browns running back joined Lindsay Rhodes on Friday's edition of NFL Total Access, ahead of the debut of his A Football Life, which premieres at 9 p.m. ET Friday on NFL Network.
Their discussion ranged from his optimism concerning the Browns' future to Ezekiel Elliott's transcendent rookie year. Brown and Rhodes also dove into the pressing current affairs of this country.
Brown was asked whether Colin Kaepernick, who has made waves with his decision to kneel during the national anthem and who earned "100 percent" support from Brown in August, can be a serious civil rights role model if he does not vote.
